One of the things that I love about being 50+ ... I just don't care what they think. When I encounter someone like that, I just say, "You want to do me a real favor? Stop talking and ride."

Anyone have an experience with/comments on Cannondale Quick series?

I've been riding the road exclusively for the past few years. I do miss those leisurely rides on the stone dust trails and am...

Yes, just one spot left for a female. Sorry you both couldn't make it in! I am really looking forward to the trip.

Any single woman out there who wants to join us?

I rode on MV in 2007. Did the MS metric ride on my road bike, and it was perfect. Of course, it was an organized ride, and it was early May, but we spent a long weekend there riding every day on...

I was there in 2007 with Lynette. It was a really well-run ride. I wouldn't even say hills. Mostly flat with a few rollers. You should watch for it next year and register as soon as it opens.

My first, and last, 5-boro. It was horrible. Yes, the bottlenecks, stop and walk, pedals banging against my shins. You wouldn't believe how bruised my legs are. Yes to all the wobbly beginners...

A couple of friends and I are doing this AMC multi-day ride in August. There is room for one more woman. I'm posting it here in case there is any interest. Should be an awesome time!

Thanks to all who responded! You pretty much confirmed what I suspected. I think I'll skip it this year.

Thanks again!

I live about 30 minutes from UConn. It's hilly out that way, but quiet. I've never ridden there, but I'm sure we could find you some routes on MapmyRide or one of those sites. There are clubs...

Has anyone ridden this? Looking for a review of the ride overall. I only have one report to go on, and that was a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend who said the road conditions are not good; too much...

Funny this topic came up just when I was thinking that I'd really like to buy a jersey with the bright Visi-Yellow "SHARE THE ROAD" logo and text largely emblazoned on the back. In my mind, I...

I'm riding with Lynette, and about 8 others!

Hey, SurlyGirl, I spent a week on Vinalhaven island many years ago with my (now) ex-husband. Got the best lobsters ever fresh from the water. I think...

I was you 2-1/2 seasons ago when I started riding with a group and I was the only mountain bike trying to keep up with the road bikes!! Now I'm leading rides and passing SOME others uphill (not all...

Thanks for starting this thread, Jes. I, too, am thinking more and more about biking to work. I have a 10 mile commute one way. Not much in the way of hills between the two points, but there is a...

$160.00, Brand new. Regular price is $349. Ordered the wrong shoe, hate mailing things back. They are LOOK compatible.

I'm in central Connecticut.

Thanks!

I AM IN!!

Look at all the responses!

I've already put on 4 lbs since the full-blown riding season came to an end in Connecticut (i.e., haven't been able to ride after work for weeks, and once...

Thanks, Thorn! Actually, you will LOVE this ... I am blessed to work with a great guy who purchased a brand new HUGE condo on Mallorca in 2005. He has a big family, so the condo sleeps 8. He...

Actually, I am probably just flying through London ... from US into London, one night layover, then on to Mallorca for a week of biking!!!

Flying through London seems to be my cheapest route. So,...

Thought I'd ask you all ... I'm looking at flights from US to London, and some of them are flying into London City Airport. I never even heard of that airport before! Does anyone out there have any...

1) Get on the trainer and get back to the gym.
2) Upgrade shifters.
3) Upgrade wheels.
4) Lose 10 lbs.
5) Come out of the chute like a thoroughbred next spring!

Oh man, Sundial!!! I want to get you for my next Secret Sister!! Do you prefer double-stuffs? Or are you an Oreo traditionalist?

:D :D :D :D :D
